 This ephydrid was tasting a collembolan, but it seems he thought it was still "green"Smile

 A fantastic video, Andrade! Well done. An ephydrid licking a collembolan (Sminthurus cf. viridis)

 Hydrellia, probably maura or griseola . They are predatory, and this one may have been wondering whether Collembola are good to eat - evidently not! Perhaps the bristles were putting it off?

 Thank you Tony! Maybe collembola are not good for ephydrids, but for dolichopodids they are a treat. Either that, or the collembolan above was "green", and the one the doli caught was ripe lolWink

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
